WEBVTT - Eddie & Rocky -- 11/3/25 0:00:01.280 --> 0:00:01.680 And rock. 0:00:01.720 --> 0:00:05.000 We have three hours to talk about what happened at 0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:07.400 Bay Court Stadium yesterday. 0:00:07.280 --> 0:00:09.960 What we do, what we do, and plenty of time 0:00:10.000 --> 0:00:14.240 to hash that all out, and there's a lot to 0:00:14.280 --> 0:00:18.000 hash out. But we're right now. We're waiting on Corey Bowman. 0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:21.720 He's supposed to be joining us right now. The talk 0:00:21.800 --> 0:00:24.400 obviously look a huge election, right and the biggest thing 0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:28.880 on the ballot is safety, right. I mean, in our 0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:33.360 great city downtown July twenty sixth, the event that got 0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:37.400 some major national headlines, two people beaten within an inch 0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:41.199 of their life and a subsequent cover up by by 0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:44.760 city hall. You know, multiple people shot on Fountain Square 0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:46.720 a couple of weeks ago, and then just last night 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:50.159 had seven people shot in Cincinnati. There was a time 0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:52.800 where you're like where that was like, oh my god, 0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:55.760 like breaking news. Everyone stopped. And now I hate to 0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:57.240 say it, but it's almost like, oh, it's kind of 0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:01.240 what's expected. Yeah, sixty ninth and Vine, like around Carthage 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:03.840 someone was shot around one thirty two people shot in 0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:06.679 a speedway down the road. Oh tr there or four 0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:10.920 people seven people shot in Cincinnati. So again there's there's 0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:13.600 no question what's on the ballot here this year, and 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:17.960 it is I think people are clamoring for public safety 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:20.400 for people that the people that just want to go downtown, 0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:23.160 of course, the people that live there, that the businesses 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:26.199 that are down there that are singing folks stay home 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:27.960 more and more and more because they don't want to 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:31.200 deal with the mess that's downtown, right, And that's that's 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:32.000 kind of where we are. 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:36.880 Well, that's what gets me, man, is that it used 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:39.840 to be yeah, yeah, your your punk stuff, you know, 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:46.280 your punky kid behavior, blah blah blah, vandalism, Maybe maybe 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:48.600 somebody would rough you up and try to take your 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:52.600 wallet or whatnot. But now everybody's getting shot, getting shot. 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:56.240 It's a big, big problem. And a guy that's hoping 0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:58.320 to do something about it joined us right now. His 0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:01.800 name is Corey Bowman and he is running for mayor 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:04.200 of our great city. Corey, welcome to the program. 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:04.720 How are you. 0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:06.960 Doing great? 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:08.680 Thank you guys so much for having me. 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:11.160 Very good. And we were just giving a rundown while 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:13.280 we were grabbing you, Corey. I mean, I mean, this 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:16.320 is becoming like an everyday thing. You look, last night, 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:22.440 seven people shot in Cincinnati. It's becoming we're almost numb 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:24.000 to it. I hate to say, you know it was 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:27.119 nowhere we should be, but seven people shot last night. 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:30.400 We had the violence that happened in late July, and 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:33.720 it's been an ongoing thing down there. What is I 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:36.239 guess what is your reaction? Your response when you see 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:37.600 this time and time again. 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.800 Well, I think exactly what you just said, We've become 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:44.200 numb to it. There are certain comments that I've seen, 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:47.079 even on social media, that they'll just accept it, and 0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:50.119 they say, well, this happens in every city. Crime just happens. 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:52.480 I don't believe that that should be the case. I 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:55.200 believe that we can do better as a city. And 0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:57.680 one thing that I've been doing ever since the wee 0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:01.840 can happen is being on the own call with public 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:04.480 safety representatives from the state trying. 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:05.880 To get a handle on why we're not. 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:09.800 Accepting the full package from the state, from the Ohio 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:12.960 State Patrol to be able to keep our streets safe. 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:17.400 And to be honest with you, it's very just frustrating 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:20.600 the information I'm getting to be able to know that 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:23.800 we're not taking advantage of everything that we can to 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:24.840 keep our streets safe. 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:28.080 So Corey, again, these instances people see them that this 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:30.520 is not like you can't hide them, and people are 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.080 aware of it, you know, thankfully because of social media 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:36.040 helps that out. But when you say, you know, the 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:39.040 state and even the federal government want to help out, 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:43.240 but the leaders of our city refuse that help, Well, 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:45.760 what do they say, take us through some of those 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:49.800 conversations of what's going on? What's their justification for not 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:53.720 wanting help on something that is clearly a problem. Everybody 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:54.320 knows it. 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.320 Well, I think so a lot from a federal level, 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:00.400 a lot of people are trying to say that, hey, 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:03.840 we're calling in the national guard. We don't have violent 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:06.880 riots on our streets right now. I believe that the 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:10.840 city run properly, can manage the crime of itself. But 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:13.480 this is a thing that is most important in the 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:16.479 short term right now, is that we are twenty percent 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:20.799 understaffed as a police department. Not only are we twenty 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:24.320 percent understaff, but from city hall, they haven't over the 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:27.680 course of the four years of this past administration, they 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:30.680 haven't been able to be free to do their job 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:34.640 to enforce the low level crimes, which actually de escalate 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:38.600 everything to the high level crimes. And then obviously we've 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:41.280 talked about the judges, how we have to put pressure 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:44.200 on the judges to hold criminals accountable. But when the 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:47.720 Ohio State Patrolled comes in with the package that they 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:51.120 are offering openly to the city, what it does is 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:53.320 that they have the ability of bringing all of our 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:56.039 complement levels up. What that means is that if we 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.560 have eight hundred officers on the streets and we need 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.640 a thousand, that that brings it up to that thousand. 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.480 On top of that, we have helicopter, We have everything 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:08.600 available to us. The nights that osp Ohio State Patrol 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:11.120 is able to help us, we see a decrease in 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:14.320 crime and we see criminals taking off the street. So 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:17.400 we have the ability of requesting that anytime, and I 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:20.640 believe that we need administration that thinks proactively. So I'm 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:24.640 sitting there thinking, you have Halloween, a holiday weekend on 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:29.039 Friday night, Saturday and Sunday, which you have a home 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:31.400 game of a Bengals game. You have a lot of 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:33.960 things going on in the city. That would be the 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:36.720 time where I think you need to accept help from 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:39.080 the state to make sure our streets are safe. I 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:41.920 talk with the public safety representatives and they are saying 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:45.760 that there was no help requested and basically everybody was 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:48.640 left to themselves on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and we 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:52.760 had shops fired and victims every night on Friday, Saturday, 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:53.360 and Sunday. 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:57.880 So we're talking to Corey Bowman and Corey why wouldn't 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.920 the administration accept this kind of help because I have 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:03.840 heard this said before and I don't get it at all. 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:05.280 There's an obvious need. 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:09.719 Well, I believe so when you look at other cities, 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:12.720 what the representatives are telling me is that when they 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:15.320 go to Cleveland, when they go to Columbus, when they 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:17.880 go to any of these other cities, they get welcomed 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:21.039 with open arms and they're able to see massive results. 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:24.880 I'm talking about like seventeen twenty thirty arrests, people getting 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:28.440 off the streets. But then whenever they come to Cincinnati, 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:30.320 they are told that they have to go through so 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:33.159 many hoops to be able to help the officers on 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:35.760 our streets. And I believe that is coming from the 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:38.839 mayor and the city manager's office that don't want to 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:41.479 allow this help to be on our streets to the 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:44.920 fullest of its capacity because they're playing political games. 0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:48.320 Yeah, and it's no secret. And I say this all 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:50.800 the time, Corey, like everyone knows how to get the 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:54.279 violence under control, and that is you got to enforce laws. 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:57.080 You got to have the presence of people to be 0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.960 able to willingly do that. And you look at Nashville, 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:02.800 all right, they're on track for their lowest murders in 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.800 sixty years. Okay, Why, well, you can point directly to 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:08.960 the fact that they've added forty million dollars to the 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:11.960 police budget. They hired two hundred and fifty new police officers. 0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:14.320 And guess what crime goes down that This is not 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:17.800 hard to figure out. Why can't we seem to get 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:20.080 this here here in the city. And what do you 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:23.800 think you can do as mayor to help help solve this? 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:27.920 Well, you got to take the politics out. You've got 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:30.640 to take these culture wars out, you got to take 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:33.760 this social agendas out, and you've got to show people 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:36.440 that when it comes to our streets being safe, that 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:41.400 affects every community, that affects every family, that affects every child, 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:45.120 and the majority of crime is being done by a 0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:48.000 very small amount of people. And so when we have 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:51.120 the officers on the streets, not only to take the 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:54.800 high level crimes, but as they are able to de escalate, 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:58.120 approach properly, and be able to do their job, and 0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:00.360 they're not willing to do that right now because they 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:02.600 don't believe they have the full backing of city Hall. 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:06.040 So I think that that's the biggest thing about Cincinnati. 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:09.280 Cincinnati needs leadership at the top that is going to 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:12.400 be tough on crime. We talked about lateral hiring over 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:16.000 the summer. They tried to hire cops. We did not 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:18.400 see a good response when it came to the lateral 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:22.800 hiring because nobody wants to work for the police department 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:26.000 that's under this current administration. And so if you have 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:28.960 strong leadership up top, the lateral hiring is going to 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:31.160 go through the route because they're going to know that 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:34.680 Cincinnati PD is held to the standard and they want 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:37.280 to work for the leadership that is at city Hall. 0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:39.679 On top of that, you've got to be able to 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:41.600 put pressure, I've said it before. 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:42.120 On the judges. 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:45.080 The judges need to realize that this catch and release 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:48.000 policy is not working for our city. We've got to 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:51.120 hold the criminals accountable because the majority of these crimes 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:53.319 are being done by repeat offenders. 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:57.240 So that's what you're saying is even if there's people 0:08:57.320 --> 0:09:03.240 that would be willing to become police officers and get involved, 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:05.480 but they're they're reluctant. They don't want to do it 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:07.439 because they know they're not going to be supported from 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:09.720 the top down. They know that they're going to be 0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:13.080 you know, criticized at every turn. Did they do this right? 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:17.000 Did they do that right? There's not a universal message 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:20.320 coming from city all down of the number one thing 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:22.920 we got to do is stop crime and that means 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.720 having consequences for people to break the law. That that 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:29.160 message has never been uttered by a f tap heer 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.480 of all or anybody down there. That has never been 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:33.920 said of, hey, we got to have a universal thought here, 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:36.720 if you break the law, you're going to be punished. 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:39.440 And so yeah, anybody that wants to sign up as 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:41.840 to be a police officer that they don't want to 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:44.400 because they know they're not going to get supported. They 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:46.000 know if they do arrest someone, they're going to go 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:47.400 to it in front of a jud just going to 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:49.600 let them write out. It's a it's a huge problem. 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:53.240 It really is a pervasive, huge problem. But I think 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:57.440 it all starts with the mentality of city Hall. And 0:09:57.480 --> 0:09:59.360 that's what's just so corrosive right now. 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:03.440 Absolutely, and this is another thing that people need to 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:07.840 be aware of. Right now, we're twenty percent understaffed. You 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:11.160 have probably about eighty to ninety officers that are going 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:14.200 to be eligible for retirement next year. Now, this is 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:16.679 how it happens in the police department is that when 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:20.120 they hit early, when they hit the opportunity to retire, 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:23.480 the majority of officers they want to continue on working 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:27.160 because their pension gets filled up even more, the pay 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:29.640 is good, and then also they get a chance to 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:33.600 continue on doing their job properly. It's called taking the drop. 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:37.880 Right we have eighty to ninety officers that most likely 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:40.720 the majority of them won't take the drop. They'll elect 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:43.800 to retire early because they don't want to deal with 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:46.400 the consequences of what's going on in the police department 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:48.480 right now. And that's not trying to bad talk the 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:51.600 police officers that are currently working. They're working their butts off. 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:54.760 They want to protect and serve, but the conditions are 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:55.920 unbearable right now. 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:59.600 Well, and we're talking to Corey Bowman and guys. When 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:03.040 you see the mayor and the situation that's going on, 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:06.559 with the police chief right now, why would somebody want 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:10.520 to become a cop? Why would you It's like getting higher. 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:12.640 I don't care what job it is. If you hear 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:16.520 that the management situation is a mess, why do you 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:17.160 want to work there? 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:21.680 No, that's exactly true. And then let's look at what's 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:25.080 happened with Chief Fiji, because we've always felt a lot 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:27.360 of people called for the resignation of the firing of 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:30.560 police Chief Tigi, but we always felt that this is 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.520 coming from the top down. Now with all the litigation 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:37.959 being exposed, we're seeing that they handcuffed her hands as well. 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:40.200 But then when they don't see the results that they 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:42.839 want to see based on their policies, they're going to 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:47.160 use her as a scapegoat to justify them being able 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:48.560 to continue on as normal. 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:53.160 Yeah, exactly, she's a scapegoat here. Let's blame her. Even 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:56.439 though there's never been one message, there's no correspondence, No 0:11:56.520 --> 0:12:00.439 lawyer will ever find a document, a transcript, can't call 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:04.240 anything of the mayor or anybody at city Hall calling 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:07.199 Chief DJ say listen, damn it, you gotta start cracking 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:09.520 down more. I need more cops on the streets. I 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:14.200 need tougher policies and more action. You'll never You'll never 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:17.200 find that. And and I would say, Corey, whoever the 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:19.520 next mayor is, that's the number one thing that's got 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:22.400 to happen. I mean, that's the figurehead, that's the one 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:25.760 that's the ultimate message, the CEO is. It's got to 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:28.679 come down from that person. Until that happens, I think 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:31.120 we're gonna be, you know, kind of where we are. Well, Corey, listen, 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:33.600 we're running out of time here, but uh but I 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.479 know we've got a big election coming up here tomorrow. 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:40.360 Just you know, I how are things looking campaign wise? 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:42.839 And what can folks do if they want to, I guess, 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:43.960 get behind and support you. 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:46.120 Yeah. 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:48.760 So, I mean obviously, like it seems it's very late 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:51.000 in the game too, But if you go to Coreybowman 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:54.240 dot com, every little bit helps, the donate button actually 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:57.920 goes in within one day. And so for us, every 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:00.960 fund right now is going toward more and going toward 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:04.040 more exposure. But we've got one day left until this 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:06.960 critical election. We have to get out and vote. And 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:09.959 what I would say to any potential voter that's listening 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:12.959 right now is that we have done our homework. We 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:15.480 know what it's going to take to bring public safety 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:18.120 to number one at city Hall. And I would encourage 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:20.920 people if you haven't voted in the past because you 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:24.480 don't believe candidates are on the ballot that actually represent you. 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:27.960 There are twenty seven city council candidates. Many of them 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:30.959 are great choices, and you have a choice for mayor 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:34.120 Cincinnati that is going to fight for public safety. It's 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:36.360 going to fight for the infrastructure, and it's going to 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:39.040 be fighting for the budget to be restored to what 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:39.800 it needs to be. 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:41.480 And that's with Corey Bowman. 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:43.520 I would encourage people get out and vote if you 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:46.960 haven't voted in previous elections, and get out and vote tomorrow. 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:50.000 And then for those that are maybe on the fence politically. 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:53.199 We're not running this on national politics. These aren't red 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:56.480 or blue issues. These are right and wrong issues. And 0:13:56.520 --> 0:14:00.360 I'm telling people vote outside your comfort zone. Got that 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:02.840 from a friend of mine that say that all the time. 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:05.120 We have to be willing to vote outside our comfort 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:08.120 zone if we want to be able to actually see 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:09.960 the results that our city needs. 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:12.200 All Right, with that, Corey Moowman, we will let you 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:13.440 go take care. 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:15.440 Thank you. 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:16.679 All so much for having me. 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:17.840 Look, Corey, thank you. 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:21.000 The elections tomorrow, see how that plays out. 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:24.080 That's it, big, big, it's a big one. 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:27.480 With that, we check in with traffic and what is going. 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:31.520 On from the UC Health Traffic Center.
